Jesus invites us to peace

Jesus invites us to peace

I was paying bills today. And with each payment, my heart would drop, just a little. In the end, I looked at our account balance and sighed. There is barely enough. And in the next month, no money will come. DH won't be able to work a single day since his first round of rotations at Internal Meds require him to be there 7 days a week. Yes, no rest for a whole month.
I brushed off the anxiety welling up within. I knew I was in good hands. We have never wanted for anything. God is by our side.
And as I read today's Gospel, God seemed to confirm it.
He said,
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives do I give it to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid." (Jn. 14:27)
And in the reflection by Mary Ann Zimmer, she says, "In and around and behind all of this Jesus invites us to peace. Jesus continues to invite us to rest in confidence in his ongoing presence, in God’s limitless love for us, in the Spirit sent to accompany us on this adventure."
Thank you Lord for the reminder.
